        <p>Hi there!</p>
        <p>My name is <span class="important">Illia Ratkevych</span>. I am <span class="important">Junior Software Developer</span> from <span class="important">Kyiv, Ukraine</span>, and this is my first Open Source project - <span>Money Counter Project</span> or for short <span class="important">MCProject</span>. It uses <span class="technology-used">Entity Framework 5</span> with <span class="technology-used">SQL Server 2012 Express</span> (maybe <span class="technology-used">MongoDB</span> in future, who knows); <span class="technology-used">MVC 4</span> with Razor 2; many small different libs such as <span class="technology-used">jQuery </span>& <span class="technology-used">jQuery plugins</span>, <span class="technology-used">LINQ.js</span>, etc. You can see more development details at <a href="http://mcproject.codeplex.com/" class="outgo-link">Codeplex</a>.</p>
        <br />
        <p>This project was started as self-training ASP.NET MVC project in early summer '12. It's personal money managment system where you can control you everyday payments and expenses. </p>
        <p>It was supposed that project would include OCR engine which lets to digitize paper checks from offline stores. Unfortunately I've stuck while looking for good OCR. For now I consider <a href="http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/" class="outgo-link">Tesseract</a> as my primary choice. Namely, its .NET wrapper <a href="http://code.google.com/p/tesseractdotnet/" class="outgo-link">Tesseract.NET</a>. (I'm open for any suggestions.) However, it still can add checks manually.</p>
